Northern side of Arant Haw

Part of the northern side of Arant Haw rises to the left above the deep valley. Rowantree Grains Fold is in the foreground: as Karl & Ali comment - Link - it's in an unusually exposed location.

Grassy headwall of valley of Hobdale Gill

The summit of Calders lies just above the steep ground; from it, the ridge at the right side of the image descends over Middle Tongue.

Hills surrounding valley of Red Gill Beck

The image was recorded from the ridge between Bram Rigg Top and Calders. Red Gill Beck is in the deep valley; its water soon falls as the waterfall, Cautley Spout. Yarlside is the hill close to the centre of the image, to the left of the sunlit area.

Ridge rising to Great Dummacks

Great Dummacks is an elongated rib of ground at the top of the rising ridge and across the head of the valley to the left. As with most Howgill ridges there's a quad bike track following this one which acts perfectly as a path for those on foot.
